opportunity to increase the welfare OF his
fellow beings.
The history Of the papers upon which Mr.
Hale has constructed this monograph of thu
life Of Franklin in France, is curious an(
worth repeating. Benjamin Franklin ha'
the habit of preserving all papers which
seemed to him of Importance, and amoni
these were the documents relating to his so
journ in France. He left, by his will, tn
er~a~to-- post or these papers TO his grandson
William Temple Franklin. who reprinte,
some of them, and sold others in England
He had not the instincts of an editor, nor tn
perseverance requisite for dealing with sucl
important material; and the manuscripts lay
dust covered. for more than seventeen
years, upon the top shelf of an old tailor
shop in st. James," A gentleman, formerl
fellow ledger with Mr.. Temple Franklin
found them and offered them for sale to tn
British Museum, to Lord Palmerston and t
the American ministers at London. FINAL
they were sold to Mr. Henry Stevens, who
in his turn, sold them to the American
government for $35,oOO, and they are a
present in Washington. Mr.. Hale examine
those which belong to the time of Franklin
residence in France, and has been able
form from them work, complete and au
thoritative within the limits which he al
signs it, Beginning with Franklin's earl
visit to France, in 1767-where he found
cordial welcome In virtue of the interest fe
in his treatises upon political economy-th

period of importance to America in its d.

the year of Yorktown. Four engraved pc

A Black Tigress.
From ths Jackson Gan Neqr

FROM tbs Jdc6S0& Cal NeaoS.
Marshal Fox had quite an exciting
time last Saturday evening. He ar
rested negro woman named Duck Gun
for being drunk and disorderly. Dack
swore that no white man could PIT her
in the lookup, and when the Marshal
took hold OF her she gave him a sling
which sent him Keeling several feet. The
Marshal summoned Mr.. Lunsford to
assist him, and together they managed
to drag her TO the Jail steps.
Seeing that they were determined
to lock her up, Duck concluded
1t was best to submit and
walked into the jail. Now Duck has
q strapping daughter, about 20 years old,
named Cora, who came running to the
Jail and told the Marshal that he must re-
lease her mother or fight. The Marshal
showed her aside and told her to go off and
be quiet or he would lock her up. She
detiantly swore that he couldn't lock her
up, and she proceeded to curse him out
generally. Marshal Fox and Lunsford
grabbed the girl, when one OF the most
amusing russels took place that has been
witnessed in Jackson for number of
years. The combined efforts of two
stout men failed for some time
to carry Cora up the steps; when
they would get her to the steps the
girl kicked against them with such force
as TO send all three back into the street.
She fought them like tigress. Finally
the Marshal got hold OF her arm, and by
twisting it forced her up the steps. But
the victory was not yet won, for on the
narrow platform the girl kept up the
struggle, and it required all the strength
Of the two men TO hold her, besides there
was danger that some of them would be
thrown to the ground, BY some means
the girl got Marshal Fox's thumb in her
mouth and closed down with her teeth
like wise, almost biting it off, but lick
on the jaw broke her hold, to the
great relief OF the Marshal. Call
ing on VIII Wright to unlock the
door, during which time the struggle be-
tween the two men and the girl went on
fiercely, and after the door was opened
they managed to get her inside, when she
set up howl that almost alarmed the
neighborhood. The two women were
tried by his honor, the Mayor, on Mon
day, when Duck was fined S. and costs,
and Cora $40 and costs. Duck paid her
fine and was at liberty. Cora still Ian
guishes behind the bars, where she will
have ample time TO repent of her haste IN
bucking against the Marshal.

How 40 Keep Out of Debt.
From The Monroe Nv. o. Enquirer

from the Monroe ". o. enquirer.
One of our merchants who was out on
q collecting tour = few days ago tells us
that he saw practical exemplificatlon
OF living h ard to make ends meet without
going in debt. The gentleman with whom
he stopped for dinner, just over the line
in Chesterfield county, ). o., owned sew
eral hundred acres OF unencumbered land,
but owing to bad crop year. had gotten
in debt hundred or two dollars, and he
and his wife, knowing how soon a mort
gage will eat up land, he resolved TO "live
hard" until they could retrieve their
wasted fortunes and get out OF debt. The
gentleman's wife told him they had not
bought IA yard OF cl0tn.ot any kind in over
two years, and that they were living on
plain bread aud meat aud rye coffee, and
all growing fat on it. This 10 q great
deal better than TO mortgage the home
stead" and then live nigh on long cred II
prices until the land is gone, and wi 10
and children without a home. A good
many are dong this.

When he dies his wife will have perhaps

very heavy insurance on his life, for
the reason that within the past

they do not care to take risks on the life

one or more corporations, and from this
source he will be able to derive a very
respectable income.

tons concerning the Citrus Fair held here
last December, the publications issued by
the Central and Northern California I'M
migration Association, and the New Yea S
issue of the RECORD UNION, which had a
very large circulation throughout the
Eastern States, have awakened an unprece-
dented number of inquiries from the East
about this part of the State, and express
ing, in many instances, the intention of
parties TO soon visit here with a view to
settlement. The number writing from the
We tern States for sample copies of the
RECORD UNION was never as extended as
at the present time, and a general long
ing" to exchange the freezing winter
weather of the East for our tar-iam ID
wineries sasons is the burden of most OF
the correspondence. The good work OF
making this section of the State known
abroad has now been well begun by the
press and immigration associations. 1t is
only begun, however, and must be con-
tinued and greatly increased.

lover public of Sacramento have to thank
Mr.. Wilkins for many evenings of great

been careful that the reputation of his house
did not suffer by the class of entertainment
given. During his stay at the Clunie the
plays have been carefully and handsomely
mounted, most of the fresh and beautiful
scenery being the work of his brush. In
all respects he has kept faith with the pub
lie, and the public should show in sub
stantiai manner its appreciation of the fact.
Attention is called to the outline of the
programme, published in advertisement,
which shows q very strong force of local

can be introduced. The exhibition of rapid
